Spain 2 Colombia 2: Morata rescues draw after Falcao's record-breaking goal

Radamel Falcao became Colombia's record goalscorer but it was not enough to give them a win over Spain, who had Alvaro Morata to thank.

Alvaro Morata scored a late equaliser as Spain drew 2-2 with Colombia in an engrossing friendly match in Murcia on Wednesday.

The visitors had looked set to claim the win after Edwin Cardona and Radamel Falcao put them ahead following David Silva's opener, only for Morata's brilliant header to rescue a draw for the home side.

The goal spared head coach Julen Lopetegui from his first defeat since succeeding Vicente del Bosque last year, although it marked the first time that Spain have conceded two goals in a home match since a 3-2 win over Ivory Coast in 2006.
